Armey Sexism

I think a lot of people look for sexism and racism in their every day lives therefore creating it to a certain extent.

That being said, I actually thought these comments by Dick Armey were completely inappropriate:

It’s just sad that because he has no valid argument he has to resort to sexism.

I think the reason I’m always so flabbergasted when blatantly sexist or racist things are said is because I find it so surprising that this type of thinking still exists today. I know its a little naïve, but I feel like we should have moved past these types of comments by now.

That’s why I don’t understand the conservative ideology. To me it’s just stagnation with no room for growth or change and when you’re resistant to all change, you‘re also resisting changes for the better.

At least I can look at pictures like the one below and know that things will get better.

Welcome!

I talk about whatever I fancy, but politics, gender, and religion are the topics that are nearest and dearest to my heart. (The title is “Random Thoughts of a Crazy Liberal.”)

Welcome.

“And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren’t any other people living in the world.”
